Full Description
Understanding the factors that affect how
one transitions from school to the labor market and finally to retirement is
important both to the individual and to the policy maker. This volume contains
seven original and innovative articles that analyze aspects of such labor
market transitions. Questions answered include: How did hiring and firing
decisions change for blacks and Hispanics relative to whites in the Great
Recession? Can redesigning the minimum wage lead to more efficient employment
transitions and greater social welfare? What are the factors leading a company
to fast-track an employee? How does the number of layers in a company's
hierarchical structure affect one's ability to be promoted? Do women gravitate
to more socially caring occupations because they care more than men? Does
gaming among youth increase math scores more for boys than girls? And, does
good health impede one's inclination to retire?
